Somewhere I've got a photobook with tiny, crappy pictures, but one of them is of Lemond, in the bunch, on one of the climbs, with his awesomely corny lime green Giro helmet. My dad wasn't a bike dork, but I sure am now.toast ghostnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2821760991275369602.post-4310870774778547642008-02-08T17:38:00.000-06:002008-02-08T17:38:00.000-06:00Good story and great picture....1994 was still ear...Good story and great picture....1994 was still early in my education of euro racing and the bikes from that era were the original "pro rides" I lusted after. When I stepped up from a Bridgestone RB-2 to a custom lugged Spectrum (with my old 7 speed suntour S.P.) I modeled it after the steel Wordperfect Colnago's. I also LOVED those fillet braised GT's (I think they were F.B'd)...I still keep an eye out on ebay for one in my size...hopefully with a Mavic group.....for nice sundays...well one can dream. <BR/><BR/>10+ years later the spectrum is still my main ride, now with 9sp Dura Ace. I hope to get a new ride soon (nice taste in bikes + PhD/Postdoc does not make for frequent bike purchases) but the Spectrum is getting resprayed...I'm thinking a "owed to the Motorola" scheme....same pattern but in earthy brown/blue/cream...<BR/><BR/>ahhhhh...Little_Jewfordhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08611436535352265058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2821760991275369602.post-52883718531349620922008-02-08T16:47:00.000-06:002008-02-08T16:47:00.000-06:00What's even more old school about Chann's bike is ...What's even more old school about Chann's bike is seeing that the US National team bikes still had downtube shifters in 1994.<BR/><BR/>The 1996 edition of the Tour DuPont had a split stage in Raleigh, NC with a road stage finishing downtown about mid-day followed by a TT downtown in the early evening. Never mind that Armstrong soundly defeated Tony Rominger in the TT, the angle that the local TV news went with was how pissed off locals were about blocked roads. <BR/><BR/>My wife ended up with Tony Rominger's bouquet of flowers from the TT podium presentation. He was walking about 300 meters from the podium to the hotel and we ended up face-to-face with Tony in the crowd near the hotel entrance. I said something suave like, "Hey, you're Tony Rominger", he smiled, and said to my wife "Flowers for the beautiful lady".Bobke Struthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14531816897802972850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2821760991275369602.post-22034887384137615632008-02-08T15:18:00.000-06:002008-02-08T15:18:00.000-06:00...great story...hadda be something for the local ......great story...hadda be something for the local riders to race w/ an american in their midst, wearing the world stripes...somewhat inspirational, i would imagine...bikesgonewildhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01489983012589939600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2821760991275369602.post-63230594373522730272008-02-08T12:51:00.000-06:002008-02-08T12:51:00.000-06:00Old School SRM on Chann's bikeOld School SRM on Chann's bikeDavehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10485351767874785496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2821760991275369602.post-69462817408261692592008-02-08T12:23:00.000-06:002008-02-08T12:23:00.000-06:00Good Post RFGood Post RFThe Sporting Life Societyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15258218395931121058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2821760991275369602.post-49614659173005731632008-02-08T11:20:00.000-06:002008-02-08T11:20:00.000-06:00Good story.
